You spelled vim wrong.

No, it doesn't. First, changing constitution would be impossible. Two, even if you did all this it would just make right wing states get even more extreme (there's nothing in the plan that would let central government protect human and constitutional rights in red states).

Unfortunately US political system wasn't designed in a way that let's it change with time. To introduce big reforms like this it would pretty much have to collapse and be rebuild from scratch. Realistic way to make things better is simply organizing locally to inform/educate people about progressive/socialist policies, electing moderate/progressive politicians to take over Democratic party and simply creating a political force that can actually oppose Republicans instead of trying to comprise all the time.

No so long ago it was generally accepted that Republicans will always be a minority party. They managed to take over the government though smart PR, well organized (dis)information campaigns and long term, bottom-up work to take over institutions. Now Democrats have to do the same.

In Spain we do cured goat/sheep cheese and some cured ham/salchichon. Put that between fresh, home made bread and your golden.

Or you can make your sandwich at home and wrap it in some food grade wrapping material (like aluminum foil).

I'm smart and I'm mostly fine with my minority dying out. It's definitely sad that in 50 years people will look at things my people created and will not understand any of it but then again, it's a natural process. I'm sure our art will somehow influence their art and in a way it will live on.

Life hack: you take some bread, put some ham and cheese on top of it, put another slice of bread on top and boom! you've got food! If you're feeling fancy you add tomato, lettuce, hard boiled egg, tuna or anything else.

Brexit was the perfect example of how this works: one direct policy change, clear predictions from experts what will happen, clear statements from EU, clear success/failure criteria (better trade deals, stronger economy). 7 years later if couldn't be clearer how complete failure it was but the party that did it is still going strong. Their excuse? The idea was right but the execution was flawed. Also it's still better then what the other party would have done.

It will be the same in Argentina. Whatever will happen they will simply claim they did the right thing, it's their opponents sabotaging their work that responsible for the failure, it would be even worse had they not done it, they are the only ones that can fix it. People expecting that everyone will just agree that what they did was stupid are delusional. It never happens.

I read somewhere about some secret tooth cherished by some sect that was destroyed by grinding it to dust, mixing with shit and throwing in to the ocean. But guess what? Some fishermen said that he totally found the tooth restored floating on a leaf next to the place where they threw it out. You can't fight believes with real world methods.

Fun fact: in most countries in the world breaking and entering is not a life or death situation for the cops. Cop shows in Europe are really boring. Cops show up, ask questions, figure out what happen and arrest someone (or not). How insane is that?

Sorry, I couldn't hear you over you shooting me. Can you repeat?

Languages don't care about complexity. Look at Polish. It's like it makes things complex on purpose. Language evolution is not only about simplifying thing. It's also about conveying meaning and will adapt to the culture that uses it.

Russia is not going to overrun Ukraine. Worst case scenario is that Trump will win elections, stop any aid and Ukraine will be forced to sign a peace deal putting it in similar situation as before the war (no EU, no NATO and some territory lost).

Better scenario is that Trump loses and Putin, seeing his best chance at getting advantage is gone, will sing a peace treaty ending the war. He will soon win re-election and he just murdered Navalny. His position is safe enough to give up on Ukraine.

Best case Ukraine will not sign any treaty and regains all it's territory and Crimea. The war formally continues but Ukraine joins NATO ending any actual fighting.
